When to edit the customizations file

  • 아티클

The customizations.xml file that is exported as part of an unmanaged solution can be edited to perform specific customization tasks. After editing the file you can compress the modified file together with the other files exported in the unmanaged solution. You apply the changes by importing that modified unmanaged solution.

Editing a complex XML file like the customizations.xml file is much easier and less prone to errors if you use a program designed to support schema validation. While it is possible to edit this file using a simple text editor like Notepad, this is not recommended unless you are very familiar with editing this file. For more information, see Edit the Customizations file with Schema Validation.

Important

Invalid XML or incorrect definition of solution components can cause errors that will prevent importing a manually edited unmanaged solution.

Supported tasks

You can edit the customization.xml file to perform the following tasks.

Editing the ribbon
This documentation describes the process of editing the ribbon by editing the customization.xml file directly. Several people have created ribbon editors that provide a user interface to make editing the ribbon easier. The most popular one so far is the Ribbon Workbench. For support using this program, contact the program publisher.

For more information about editing the ribbon by editing the customization.xml manually, see Customize the Ribbon.

Editing the SiteMap
The SDK describes the process of editing the SiteMap by editing the customization.xml file directly. However, its recommended that you use the site map designer in Model-driven apps to create or update site maps. More information: Tutorial: Create a Model-driven app site map for an app using the site map designer

You can also use one of the community-developed site map editors, such as the XrmToolBox Site Map Editor.

For more information, see Change Application Navigation using the SiteMap
